Hello Concourse

Visit the hello world example.

• Review the pipeline configuration.
• Locate the pipeline in your repository.

Set the pipeline

Use the fly CLI to "set" the pipeline.

Hint

Look up the syntax for the fly set-pipeline command.

After the pipeline is set

• Can you see the pipeline in the Concourse dashboard?

• Use the fly CLI to list the pipelines in your team.

  Is the pipeline you just set on the list?

Pipeline are initially in paused state. A paused pipeline does not run until it is unpaused.

• Use the fly CLI to unpause the pipeline.

  Can you figure out how to pause or unpause a pipeline from the dashboard?

After the pipeline is unpaused

• Can you identify the name of the job?

• What is the fly CLI command to list the jobs that belong to a pipeline?

• Edit the pipeline yaml: rename the job to something more meaningful, such as say-hello.

• Set the pipeline again, and confirm that the job name has updated.

• Use the fly CLI to execute the job in question.

  Hint

  Look up the help for the command fly trigger-job

• Use the Concourse dashboard to watch the job run.

• Can you figure out how to execute a job a second time, this time from the dashboard instead of the CLI?

Each time a job is run, it produces a "build".

In the dashboard, navigate to a completed build.

• Can you figure out how to view the output?

• Can you figure out the fly CLI command to view the output of a build?

  Hint

  Look up the help for the command fly watch

Success

Congratulations. You have set and run your first Concourse pipeline.
